if you blew it, you might as powerfully plead guilty, they caught you
DUI is a very serious offense, with long-term effects upon your driver's license, insurance, etc., etc. It would be severely foolish to try to handle this case minus an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you (and, believe me, whoever is apppointed will know a LOT more about DUI than you do).
It is not "being a man" to plead guilty at the first appearance, it is person foolish. You do not know what defenses you may have or what options here may be. Plead not guilty, get an attorney, and follow your attorney's advice. Source(s): 30+ years as a criminal defense attorney
requesting the officer's training collection for DUI related arrests and certification archives of the equipment is just a waste of time. the frequency which it happen to them....they have that information kept up to date. its more of a stalling tactic or long shot possibility for people that know they are guilty.
you can other keep your fingers crossed that the officer forgets they have be subpoenaed for the proceedings. sometimes the case is dropped if the arresting officer fails to show up (without correct reason).
Guilty, not guilty, or no contest. its up to you.
If you want to man up and save the city the cost of a trial then lug your punishment like a man and accept your chance. the ADA is generally more favorable to people that plea out since they do not really want to clutch the time and effort for a trial since it costs the city more money they do not have. press your luck and turn for trial...the ADA will be far less likely to donate you a deal and will push for a far longer/stronger sentence for you.
if your DA is big on prosecuting DUI cases then you may be screwed any way. some DA's love to show how they are making their city safer by going after DUI cases since it gets them reelected.
its up to you but man up.
you might still have time to get officer notes and certification documents for the tester.
you wait too long to ask so that's all I'm offering.
always grasp the officers notes.
you want to know what the style guru is seeing.
you sound like you know you be sh$# faced.
if so plead guilty and accept the outcome.
I've have a police officer shake my hand because of the way I handle myself in court.
never a DUI but numerous others
can the guy below me say that?
They will give you a couple options.
1) Do we stipulation to appoint you an attorney
2) Would you like to speak to the Prosocuter to see if the 2 of you can reach a traffic.
You can always make a personal statement, but they usually liberate that for sentencing. It probably will not be done tomorrow, unless you agree to a plea.
I would advise you to get an attorney, but a public supporter can work for you if you be upfront and tell them what you want.
Hope this helps and devout luck!!
I would enunciate plead guilty, act appropriately contrite, tell the trendsetter you're really sorry and that you're glad you didn't hurt anyone, and ride it out.
I hope it's your first offense. They're much harder on the 2nd offense.
Good luck!
If tomorrow is your first court appearance, you will most predictable just plead "guilty" or "not guilty". You won't have to produce a statement, because the chances of your case person settled tomorrow are pretty small. I know that you aren't a bad person - this crime is a luck of the draw type of article; plenty of people have driven after drinking, but haven't gotten caught.
You can request a public champion, and more than likely the court will urge you to hire your own attorney (if you can afford one) or assign you an attorney. The process will probably take a few months at tiniest, before it is settled. Good luck.
EDIT: Contrare to what the 3rd answer says, you are not "caught". My mother is a prosecutor, and in that have been plenty of times where on earth defendants went to trial after having blown and get found "not guilty". Juries have a tendency to acquit on driving while intoxicated charges because they know that it could own been them (especially because most people don't really know what amount of alcohol will put them over the trial limit).
Seriously though...are you sorry, because if you crashed into me and killed my babies...
